The Law and Order Organized Crime premiere has arrived, and here’s what NBC has released about the first episode of the new Elliot Stabler-centric series.

The newest Law and Order series focuses on Stabler (Christopher Meloni) as he returns to the NYPD and heads up his own unit. The first episode airs this Thursday as part of a crossover with Stabler’s former series, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

It’s entitled “What Happens in Puglia,” and there aren’t any specifics about what happens in it, which isn’t a huge surprise. Since the premiere is part two of the crossover, saying anything is a potential spoiler since it’s picking up from the end of the SVU episode.

We do know that the rest of the cast includes Danielle Mone Truitt (Chicago Med) as Stabler’s second in command, with Dylan McDermott (Stalker) and Tamara Taylor (Bones) also in series regular roles.
